Sandy Paws and Salty Air: Find Key West's Best Sandbars by Boat
Locals know that the Florida Keys are small islands home to gorgeous views, unique wildlife, and tons of fun in the sun. But if you are one of the thousands of tourists who visit the Keys each month, you may not know the first thing about sandbars in Key West, Florida.
Whether you are a Key West local or visitor, one of the most fun things to do in Key West is to visit the sandbars by boat. Key West sandbars offer activities for couples, friends, or the whole family.
When you choose to see the sandbars on a SeaMonkey Key West private boat charter, you can also bring along your furry friend. All our charters offer dog-friendly tours and activities.
Yet, with so many boat rentals available, you may wonder why SeaMonkey is the best choice. Read on to learn why tourists and locals love our charter boats and the famous sandbars you can expect to see and explore while aboard.
Benefits of Chartering a SeaMonkey Boat
As a family-owned business, SeaMonkey's mission is to give you and your loved ones the ultimate Key West experience. We treat all of our clients like they are part of the family, offering unparalleled service and amenities.
But that is not the only reason to choose SeaMonkey charters. Here are a few more benefits to consider before booking your trip.
Key West Private Boat Charter
Unlike group charter experiences, you and your friends or family will not have to share the deck with strangers on a SeaMonkey charter. We only charter our boats to private parties so you can enjoy the adventure in peace.
Another benefit of choosing private over group charters is there is no risk of cancellation. When you sign up for a group charter, the booking agent can cancel your reservation at the last minute if there are not enough passengers.
Last but most importantly, the charter boat you book is the boat you will ride on. With group charters, private bookings get preferential treatment, meaning you could end up on a smaller boat than you expected.
Dog-Friendly Boat Rentals
Now that you understand the difference between group and private boat trips, we want to explain how we are distinct from other private chartering companies. It all begins with our pet-friendly policies.
We know how hard it is to leave your pup behind. Your dog is part of the family and deserves to participate in memorable activities with you instead of being cooped up alone all day in your hotel.
Some private charter companies don't understand the bond between you and a man's best friend. SeaMonkey is different. All our charter boats are dog-friendly, and we can't wait to meet your furry friend when he comes aboard.
4-, 6,-, and 8-Hour Boat Trips
Whether you want to hang out in the sun all day or just take a quick morning trip, we have an option for you. We offer two charter boats, both of which can be booked for a full-day (8 hours), half-day, or 6-hour trip any day of the week.
SeaMonkey's 8-hour and 6-hour trips begin bright and early at 10 a.m. Both trips arrive back at the Hyatt Centric Resort just in time for dinner, making them the perfect experience for families with young kids.
If you book the half-day charter, you will set sail at 3 p.m. The later departure will allow you and your friends or family to watch the sunset over the Atlantic, making this trip ideal for a romantic night beneath the stars.
Key West Sandbar Fun
Yet another reason to love SeaMonkey Charters is that we will not let you salivate over the sandbars from afar. Our tours are designed to allow passengers to visit the sandbars by boat and stop along the way.
On a SeaMonkey boat tour, you will have time for fun family, couple's, and friend group activities like:
Swimming
Sunbathing
Wildlife watching
Beach picnics
Rope swinging
If you've come to see the sandbars in Key West, booking a private SeaMonkey dog-friendly boat charter is the ultimate way to see their beauty up close and in person.
Popular Sandbars in Key West
Wondering which sandbars you and your loved ones will get to see on a SeaMonkey boat tour? Our tours stop at some of the most famous sandbars in Key West, including the following three.
Marvin Key
Marvin Key is a popular destination to see Florida Keys' wildlife in their natural habitats. This backcountry sandbar is located in the Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge, where you can see many local bird species at play.
If you enjoy Marvin Key, you can also check out Boca Grande Key and Woman Key. These sandbars are also located within the National Wildlife Refuge's protected borders.
Snipe Point
Only a short boat ride away from Marvin Key is Snipe Point. Also known as Snipes, this sandbar is a tourist hot spot. Despite the crowds, the sandbar is long, allowing plenty of room to carve out your own slice of Snipes paradise.
One reason why Snipes is so famous is its gorgeous white sand beaches. The infamous tree swing is another main attraction and a must-visit for a photo to remember your trip.
Mud Keys
Mud Keys offer some of the most breathtaking views in all of Key West. It consists of several secluded sandbars, where you and your fellow passengers can snorkel or swim in the shallow waters or explore the mangroves on land.
Navigating these islands can be tricky with fragile seagrass beds and constantly shifting shoals. But it is more than worth the effort since you can find sandbars secreted away from tourist hot spots.
